Thanks for the question! We've tried those other features on the smaller sites (a handful of times) and they always petered out, and then weren't ever really used, so the expenses of keeping them up / going wasn't worth it. Fortunately, 90% of what you'd do in those other tools can be done in...

Regarding the sites being down: We were updating the security on the servers to keep the bad guys out, and unfortunately some legit peeps were blocked in the process. It's a bit of a cat/mouse game with bad-actors on the internet. We try to stay a step ahead and keep them out while letting...

I've always had high-hopes for bamboo as a cheap / strong building material. I mean, it grows CRAZY fast and is SUPER strong. It just seems like it could be perfect if used properly. I LOVE this guy's videos and the stuff he makes / does with bamboo...

Great info / thoughts, thanks! I drove by a house that I just noticed has a nice looking vinyl fence, so I'm going to see if my GF likes the way it looks, and if she does, I may knock on the peep's door and ask which one it is, how they like it.

Great stuff! You make a lot of points I've been wondering about! I don't need it to last forever, but I'd like it to last a while... at least as long as a moderately similar wood fence. I've definitely seen the old ones that are thin and brittle... that said, I've also seen old wood fences in...

That's great, thanks!

Wow, what a find @Lazy Gardener !! That sounds like a gold-mine! Do you know which brand of fencing it was? We're worried because some of the fences we've seen look really thin, brittle, or otherwise like they aren't very durable.

We need a 6' tall privacy fence that is about 12 - 16 feet long. I was going to just build a wood one, but my GF likes the idea of a vinyl fence. I found these "cheap" ones: Home Depot...

Hey all, we're getting a lot of reports that are all focused on this thread... which is saying a lot since we usually can go months without any reports. We HATE closing threads, and to avoid doing that with this important thread as long as possible, content of a political nature that is...

That's me and my girlfriend with Sumi and her son (super nice / smart kid) :) I remain the owner of SS. Sumi loved this community and asked for a much more significant role in the management and direction of the community. She requested that I maintain ownership of the site as well as the...

My heart is broken over the loss of such an AMAZING woman. Loved and respected by literally thousands of people, as well as directly and indirectly having a huge positive impact on the lives of literally MILLIONS around the world through of her work with the BYC community. I'm blessed to have...

We're very sorry to say that our beautiful friend and amazing soul Sumi passed away 3 pm Irish time. It was peaceful and pain free.

Hey all, we know there's a lot of craziness going on right now and it's leaving a lot of us feeling a bit frazzled. That said, let's make sure we remain friendly and civil in our discussions and tone and let's keep the politics to a minimum (or just avoided entirely).

Just FYI: I've been getting the same error with the same image and trying to figure out why. I believe the xf settings are the same cross all the sister sites, so we've had a hard time figuring out what's going on. We'll keep digging! Thanks for reporting and for the details, help, etc! :)

That's odd! The server should be able to automatically resize that image. @CarpCharacin, do you know if this is an XF setting or a server setting?

Hey everyone! We appreciate all the excitement around the POWs! One request: We tend to want POW's where the person isn't the focus of the POW. If there is a person in a photo, we'd prefer it's with them doing something that is clearly (to new visitors to the site) doing something that is...

Beautiful new POW!
